David Walliams #2

Watching the ITN documentary. The victims are so young and there’s such a power imbalance.

I said this when the Schofe story broke that 17 is such a grey age. Not an adult yet sex is lawful. It’s a loophole that predators abuse!
I've just watched it. I know it's available to watch now on ITVX and You Tube, but what a shame it's not on TV until really late at night instead of 9 pm or 8.

When Jonathan Ross told the 15 years old joke at the comedy awards about him, I dunno who it was but the guy in the brown suit on the table behind Walliams did not look impressed.

I wonder if that guy knew at the time what David was like, hence the face.

Just catching up on the thread so I will probably put my two penn’orth in later but just wanted to say it’s bloody typical I’d be at work when this broke. A lot of us on this thread have been waiting YEARS for this! It’s horrible reading what he’s done but I am here for his downfall.

I'm wondering if this was the reason they fell out ages ago?
It’s been bugging me for a while as I vaguely remember seeing them together on the One Show reasonably recently. So had a Google. Apparently they’ve reunited and have a joint podcast, which makes their falling out (or not) perhaps less likely to do with this? Who knows 🤷‍♀️

Yes , was going to mention the podcast as that was a very recent thing. I listened to the David Schwimmer episode. Turns out he was very good friends with Walliams.

Schwimmer produced a Little Britain USA thing, didn't he? No wonder he was chummy with Walliams. Probably not so much anymore!
 
.

Yes, Amanda Holden best mates with David Walliams and Russell Brand. Really hope nothing bad comes out about Alan Carr....
I can’t stand him, I don’t watch him, walliams, brand, fielding, Lucas, corden or carr. Immediate off or over.

edited to add wallace.

I wonder who the celebrity is I’ve was who approached the young woman at David’s house party and advised her to be careful (paraphrasing)?
Lucy Beaumont is on Sky now talking about a young girl telling her she had been groomed by Walliams, she tried to help her but the girl had been too afraid due to an NDA she signed. She seems to have been well aware of his reputation so I don't believe anyone who claims they had no idea. Seems it was an open secret.

I heard (years and years ago via Popbitch possibly?) that Mayall, Fry and others were chatting in a bar when the topic of groupies / underage ‘acts’ came up and Fry basically went into a long diatribe of how ‘young love’ has been around years historically it’s natural and it never used to harm anyone. Mayall, the father of two young girls, was fuming and had to leave the bar otherwise he would have punched Fry. Not long after, Fry had a ‘breakdown’ and caught a random ferry, going missing for a few days and causing the cancellation of the play (which had poor reviews anyway). Mayall never spoke to him again.
I often think of Stephen Fry like the creepy Uncle Monty character in withnail and I.
I can imagine him rhapsodising and trying to intellectualise unhealthy interest in underage boys as ‘it was good enough for the Ancient Greeks so it’s good enough for me’ kind of thing.
Obviously that’s just my imagination and not an accusation

Some have said the 90s and 00s did push the boundaries and there was a lot of risque stuff out there. The whole ladette culture and lad mags etc with people being more crude. TV was very manic and zany and I think people did push the envelope thinking it was funny. I used to watch celebrity juice but cringe when I see clips now. And that's not that old either.
I never watched celebrity juice but used to enjoy bo selecta, I don’t remember much about it now but I am sure it would be hugely offensive now, there were elements that made me uncomfortable. I always remember being really creeped out by the disgusting teddy bear character , I couldn’t watch him.
 
My mum bought a couple of his books for my daughter. Don’t know why, I guess she saw the Quentin Blake illustrations and probably thought they would be fun. My daughter was too old for them really and never read them. Then I read a few things about them and about Walliams and threw them in the bin. I always hated Little Britain and especially the vomiting woman (???)
The vomiting woman was GROSSSS
